| Report: | This evening Amida Army finally felt confident of making the long & daunting trek 5.74 miles from Beckenham to Dulwich. Now that the snow had melted & there was only a hint of rain in the air they donned their survival gear and turned up with their a solid line-up albeit missing the mercurial Alex Martin.
With Warrant Officer Webb back in the ranks, it was game on for US Navy Marine Tucker and what a game it was. Very much like his season, Tony started a slowly, in fact so much so that neither player felt in need of a rest between game one & two! But he was back in force in game 2 to level it up and then over-turn a 2/7 deficit in the third when Tucker appeared to step on a land mine & ‘popped’ his knee. Tucker hobbled back and edged the fourth and seemed in control when up 6/0 in the fifth, the match rocketed backwards and forwards before Tony finally dropped a bomb of a drop in the crater of a nick to steal it 10/9.
Meanwhile Will was finding that it was not just Alex from Amida that he struggles with but anyone who has an association with them. A good start in first soon evaporated like the water on his finely cooked pasta, but he blasted back in the second. Sadly he lost his aim in the third, apart from for the tin which he hit with unerring accuracy. A promising start in the fourth was pegged back by Paul and he set up a handy advantage for the away side.
Tim restored parity with a straight game over Jamie, though the latter’s big gun finishes at times had the Dulwich man only able to utter ‘good shot’ in response. Jason was in ruthless mood against Mark, so it was left to PG to wrap up the points. Always having been one for a challenge he set about the task by continually lobbing a 6ft 7” Guy, and then cleverly popping the ball short when Guy was still dusting the snow off his racket. The tactic clearly paid dividends as a straight games win was just what the doctor ordered, or rather Chef Will ordered, who was more Anthony Worrell than Steven Seagal tonight, but promises to fight hard with a vengeance tomorrow.
